Summary
- The Intex Aqua Ace features a 5.0-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and a pixel density of approximately 294 ppi, while the Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) has a slightly smaller 4.7-inch Super AMOLED display with the same resolution but a higher pixel density of around 312 ppi.
- In terms of performance, the Aqua Ace is powered by a Mediatek MT6735 chipset with a 1.3 GHz quad-core CPU, compared to the Galaxy A3's Exynos 7578 or Snapdragon 410 with a 1.5 GHz quad-core CPU, giving the A3 a slight edge in processing power.
- Both phones have a 13 MP rear camera capable of 1080p video recording and a 5 MP front camera, but the A3 has a wider aperture of f/1.9 for potentially better low-light performance.
- They both have a 2300 mAh battery, but the A3's build quality is enhanced with Gorilla Glass 4, making it more durable than the Aqua Ace's Gorilla Glass 3.
- Both devices run on Android Lollipop, with the Galaxy A3 being upgradable to Nougat, offering a more modern software experience.
